Yes, it’s a secret base run by SPECTRE and its leader, Ernst Stavro Blofeld – and arguably one of the best 007 locations to visit. Or perhaps it’s true to say that it was one of the best… The ryokan Shigetomi-so (now known as Shimazu Shigetomisoh Manor) was used as the exterior of Tanaka's house. Peter R. Hunt.
